The Aurelian
New Farm is one of Brisbane’s most loved suburbs, yet it had never offered a contemporary option for locals wanting to rightsize without leaving the neighbourhood. Bolton Clarke, a name long trusted for care, briefed us to position and name a boutique development designed for ageing in place. The catch was that this buyer doesn’t think of themselves as “retirement” at all. They’re weighing it against Brisbane’s most desirable downsizer apartments, not aged care. So we set out to reposition senior living entirely. It was a first for Bolton Clarke and a new kind of product for New Farm. With a strategy to shift the expectations of what senior living could be, focusing on freedom, connection and quiet luxury, we created a brand to compete with some of Brisbane’s most aspirational addresses.
